Ok so I have one final problem that I can't seem to figure out, and my googling has turned up no help.

In addition to the color wheel, I have some hard coded color options that I want the user to be able to choose from via a drop down menu.

I was able to successfully get the drop down to successfully open, set the colors in my addon and then display the current color chosen in the drop down frame when it is closed. My saved variables get set properly so the color is saved between sessions.

What I can't figure out is how to get the drop down menu to read from the saved variables so that it will correctly display the chosen value when the user opens up the options menu in a different session.

When I reload the ui, it sets the value of the displayed text to "Default". I tried to not declare a default value for cvcolor at the top of the file, but then i get a nil value concat error.

cvred, cvgreen, cvblue, cvalpha, cvcolor are all declared in my toc and I can watch the saved variables file get updated when i reload the ui.


Again I'm probably missing something stupid easy.

--Set color variables default values to avoid first load errors 
cvred = 1
cvgreen = .996
cvblue = .545
cvalpha = 1
cvcolor = "Default"
 
--Hard coded color options table 
local colorTable = {
    ["blue"] = {0, 0, 1},
    ["green"] = {0, 1, 0},
    ["red"] = {1, 0, 0},
    ["black"] = {0, 0, 0},
    ["white"] = {1, 1, 1},
    ["light blue"] = {0, 1, 1},
    ["light red"] = {1, .5, .5},
    ["pink"] = {1, .5, 1},
    ["purple"] = {.7, 0, 1},
    ["orange"] = {1, 0.5, 1},
    ["default"] = {1, .996, .545}
}
 
--Color Picker
local function ShowColorPicker(cvred, cvgreen, cvblue, cvalpha, changedCallback)
 ColorPickerFrame:SetColorRGB(cvred, cvgreen, cvblue);
 ColorPickerFrame.hasOpacity, ColorPickerFrame.opacity = (cvalpha ~= nil), cvalpha;
 ColorPickerFrame.previousValues = {cvred, cvgreen, cvblue, cvalpha};
 ColorPickerFrame.func, ColorPickerFrame.opacityFunc, ColorPickerFrame.cancelFunc =  changedCallback, changedCallback, changedCallback;
 ColorPickerFrame:Hide();
 ColorPickerFrame:Show(); 
 end
 
function myColorCallback(restore)
 local newR, newG, newB, newA;
 if restore then
  newR, newG, newB, newA = unpack(restore);  
 else
  newA, newR, newG, newB = OpacitySliderFrame:GetValue(), ColorPickerFrame:GetColorRGB();  
 end 
  cvred, cvgreen, cvblue, cvalpha = newR, newG, newB, newA;

--Add our panel to the options frame    
InterfaceOptions_AddCategory(cvrpanel)

Edit: I just noticed that when I click on the dropdown menu in the options frame, the displayed text changes to the value currently set in the saved variable. So it knows what it is between sessions, it just doesn't update until i click on the drop down menu frame.
